The Wells Fargo Classical EDGE: Hannah Lash

The ASO is thrilled to introduce acclaimed composer Hannah Lash, our Sound Investment Composer for next season. Ms. Lash has emerged as a leading voice of her generation and received numerous prizes from all over the world. She has curated (and will be speaking about) a program of her own work plus pieces by the three composers who have most influenced her both emotionally and intellectually: Stravinsky, Mozart, and her teacher, Pulitzer Prize-winning composer Bernard Rands. Her composition Hush — receiving its Alabama premiere — is propelled forward by a cumulative layering of sound and texture, noted as "striking and resourceful ... handsomely brooding" in The New York Times review. Danail Rachev returns to Birmingham to conduct.

The Alys Stephens Center is located at 1200 10th Avenue South, Birmingham, on the campus of the University of Alabama at Birmingham. Parking is free and convenient. A parking lot is located directly across the street from the ASC. Street parking is also available. There is an upper and lower circular driveway that can be used to drop off disabled patrons. Allow extra time for parking during weekday performances.
